Good morning… the cooler weather in the mornings is refreshing. the quiet on the bog is deceiving, the other day I thought I was alone, there were no cars in the parking areas as I drove by. Out of my car, I didn’t even see the doves.. the blue jays came when the peanuts were served, otherwise, it seemed usually quiet. I looked up into the trees to see if there was a bird of prey in the area.. but .no.. it was just quiet. I knew the turkeys were down by the farm, I saw them when I drove past.. they would be headed up my way, they had started to chase after my car… so I knew they would arrive.. but… I still found it unusually quiet…
As I walked away from the feeding area.. towards the boardwalk and the water, I could sense I was being watched…It was such a surprise.. cuz I knew .. just knew… there was a pair of eyes, watching me. As I strolled past the first path leading off to the right, I heard a rustle of leaves… I turned slowly towards the sound and saw that there was movement away from me, the lower branches on the bushes were still slightly swaying.. Was it the groundhog, no he knows me and would have come to the feeder area. Then I remembered the mother racoon and her wee ones, they had been around the other day… but no.. she would have just gone up to nosh on the fresh offerings in the dining area.
Slowly I turned back towards the water, and moved on… one of the pleasures of having the woodlands to myself, is that I may not actually see the other visitors to the area I’m wandering in.. but I know they are there. and… eventually the visitor will make itself known if it stays around… I’m there every day, 365 days of the year… I am learning from the animals.. not to rush, to take my time… to always listen and be aware of my surroundings. IF not now, maybe another time, when it is “right” it will happen,

Because
Because
Because… I bought a pizza doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… I have bread in the breadbox.. doesn’t mean I have to eat it
Because… there is a supplement on my counter… doesn’t mean I have to take it
It is an ah-ha moment when you realize that you are doing something… because….of a negative
Because the reality is.. you don’t want to XYZ it is only because over time. you have been told you SHOULD be doing …this… that… etc… it is in your best interest….
Being aware that what “others” think I “should” be doing, saying, thinking… is their reality. Not mine.
and I am happiest when I am doing the whatever’s I like/want to do…
Sometimes, the door we want access to ..is there.. we can see it… but even if we get to it, we can’t go anywhere….. because… nature has conspired against you. You are at a standstill till help comes.
Time…. patience …. moments come and go …. always there is change … what is constant, is … NOW..
Don’t give up! Keep at it until you accomplish what you’ve started. The key to achieving something is to stick to it. If you are able to continue something from start to finish you will be sure to accomplish it no matter how difficult it is. (PL2014.5)

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not try to blame others.HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took:
The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,The ambition out of achievement.
Received this in my morning mail. thought I’d share. why not! Anything resonate with you?
in passing. with the cooler weather I went in search of a piece of gingerbread…(from a gingerbread loaf, not cookies) None found!
Enjoy your day today, whatever you get up to.

It’s in the air… I even have the urge to do another autumn junk journal or wicked multi media piece. Doesn’t that hint of October that is tainting the air… send a delightful chill up your spine. I see the Halloween stores have already begun to set up. Gotta dust off my broom today….. find my hat, especially now I live with a cat!
Flexibly adapt to changes. The world around you changes, and so do you. Enjoy the transformations and deal with them flexibly. (PL2015.31)
